Who are we?

It all began in Peter Ireland’s garden shed in Kent, England in 1985. Peter hand crafted wooden jigsaws which he and wife Liz sold at craft fairs all over the UK.
The business has grown enormously since then but remains family run. Grandchildren Arthur and Edith even get involved with testing the toys! It really is a family affair.

Powered by great design

Our award winning toys are designed and illustrated at our HQ in Folkestone, UK. They are tested to European and American safety standards and made using quality materials.

Our mission: To deliver quality, safe and affordable products which are responsibly sourced and complement childhood development through fun, exploration and learning.

Toys that last for generations

Make lasting memories with our durable toys! Made primarily from quality plywood and rubberwood, and harvested from replenishable forests, we do our best to minimise our environmental impact whilst ensuring our customers enjoy great value toys.

Working to reduce waste
